[3.3] Unstoppable Gladiator 78% Max Block/Spells. Best Low Budget League Starter

Hi, first of all nice guide, thanks for sharing with us mate you are number one.

As for a gem setup, after you got Gratuitous Violence consider Bloodlust Support into your main attack. You will not apply bleed thru it but you easily have bleed on everything from : reconing, riposte and shieldcharge/leapslam. Having a blast with it and I think Bloodlust beats every other support you can have in game for us - more damage.

Only thing are bleed immune bosses but well you don't use Bloodlust on them.

Give it a try folks - dps on the box wont change but you will notice a difference.

Happy holidays and a new year for all you blocker out there.

Edit: not totem, but shieldcharge/leapslam.

it's an idea, but i imagine that the bleed from your main skill might deal more damage (double dipping) i might be wrong tho, bloodlust gives 40-59 MORE physical damage which is ridiculous, but again, i am afraid of losing bleed damage

any gear improvement recomendations? saving up for a good 6 link atm

I posted the same thought some posts ago. Willing to try cleave/heavy strike + bloodlust + Melee on full life + life leech on bosses to see ho it goes. With shield charge hitting so fast, the bleed proc is not that hard to get.

Edit: anyone knows which bosses are bleed immune, besides minotaur and chimera?

Hmm thinking out loud here but bleed is 10% of initial hit, does not stack, lasts 5 seconds. I'm flooding the screen with attacks and - for the sake of argument - let's say 1st attack applies bleed, we get that 10% running and +increased damage from ascendancy vs bleeding targets. So bloodlust would be better then main hand bleed, we just want bleed to be there and we will shield charge anyway for fortify/charges.

buuuuuutttttt in order to put Bloodlust I need to remove 1 support gem from the combo...... so it is not so clear...


Buuuuuuuutttttttttt bleeds are 10% of physical damage so if you remove WED - I think best thing to remove - cause add fire will benefit a lot from Bloodlust too...

decisions decision ... I'll do the math when I'll have more time at work, maybe best idea is to fight same boss with 2 setups and time it.

I'm taking inspiration from a few builds and kind of going my own way. I'll reveal the main points of it once I've built it and tested to make sure it actually works (I'm pretty sure it will), but if I'm correct I'll have a max block character using Aegis Aurora that has an effective HP pool (hybrid so life+ES) of approximately 8000 to 9000 (hoping that's enough to help oneshots which are the block builds weakness) that regenerates ES via the shield but uses a Six link armor for Blade Flurry. If I am correct, I should be able to reach extremely good DPS due to the particular nature of the build.


However, I have one question. How are you able to reach 78% block when block is supposed to be capped at 75%?

this gives the 3% ekstra

Ahhh right. I knew I was overlooking something.
